Next Villa manager

[villadelph]

Yesterday I almost felt relief that we could recruit a new manager that could get something out of this squad. However, today I am absolutely shitting myself. I keep telling myself it can't get worse but I've said that so many times in the last 5 years.

Said this yesterday - go and get a top half premiership manager, or someone from abroad who has won top tier leagues. We need to be looking at someone not just to get us promoted, but once there, with a prayer of keeping us there.

Pulls?

Are the press going to link any manager that has beaten or drawn against Villa in the last few months,

It's good to see him mentioned though, he's been gone too long.

Never wrote, never called.

Is there any evidence Wagner is coming?

Packed his bags as I recall

I doubt Xia is concerned about appointing Bruce

a Bruce appointment would be right up there with the Mcliesh one for me

 A boring safe pair of hands with a truck load of bagage and a million things that could and probably will go wrong
even worse than Mcliesh in some ways as Alex did at least win some stuff
unlike Bruce who is a serial loser with a couple of promotions that loads of other people have including the chap we just chucked to show for his years in management

A disaster waiting to happen.............imo

I mean loser isn't true is it? He's been promoted 3 times I think and he got Wigan to their best Premier League finish. He is no way worse than McLeish.

More I read about Dean Smith the more the heart says it would be brilliant to b have him come in and succeed here.  It would be great to see someone like that get a genuine shot at a big club too.

Is Bruce just too obvious?

[oldtimernow]

He's the one for me

he be a worse appointment than Mcliesh in my opinion

I can't believe any Villa fan looks at the situation and says yeah that Steve Bruce he's the man for me, I just can't get my head around that

[Tony Erdington]

every manager we've appointed since mo'n except Mr Houllier have at best been out of left field, wagner read lambert, The job is to big for them,

Steve Bruce is the safe pair of hands to get us promoted, give him a contract based on that, with a Brucie bonus for reaching the holy grail. and depending on how he achieves promotion the first offer of an extension to his contract.
